You can be a Whovian if you’ve only watched the new incarnations. You can be a Swift fan if you’ve only listened to her country stuff. Stop being holier than thou about enjoyment. Damn 431252117
Reposted by ollie!chiller @chiller.eurosky.social · 13/02/2025I'm seriously contemplating just following artists & muting politics entirely. I feel like if we keep on making art, it will rebalance the world. Anyway, to that end, tomorrow I'm going to draw the heron that turns up on the roof opposite me every afternoon at 3pm. He has all the best lines. 141543

Sure it’s great to work with others but having an idea of how to do each lil bit of the pipeline makes it so much easier for you to be like “well fuck it I’m gonna make it anyways”when funding falls thru or is nonexistent 2694
Reposted by ollie!Kuro @kurohshiro.bsky.social · 12/02/2025One realisation I had today after ending up being frustrated with my art was how important it is to just be okay with not forcing yourself to continue working. Take a break. Do something completely self-indulgent. 1573289

Reposted by ollie!Winstar @winstar.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Making art in a way really has been just trying to put together puzzle pieces after so much trial and error. Once you figure out it just clicks and you just then know. It's weird. 3355

Reposted by ollie!Mitch Goldstein @mgoldst.com · 10/02/2025portfolio advice: print out all of your work, one project per page. spread these out on a table or on the floor. look at all the work as a whole. then make 2 piles: work you care about, and work you don't care about. the work you care about stays in, the rest does not. #art #design #portfolio 417619

It's VERY NORMAL if your sales have taken a dip. You're not broken, your career isn't over, it's just... *gestures* 13581109

Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy. 284131682601

Reposted by ollie!AlmightyRayzilla @almightyrayzilla.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Listen, real talk, fellow artists. Take some time to admire your own art every now and then. As I was setting up earlier, I realized it's been a while since I last looked at my paintings. I was struck with a feeling that I can't put into words. Take time to appreciate your own accomplishments. 1425
